May I use any commercial dimmer with these bulbs?

Yes any dimmer rated for 1.5 times the watts will work. If you had old bulbs on the switch the new bulbs will work and use much less electric Barry

I believe that all filament based bulbs (not LED or CFL) can be put on a dimmer. So yes, you should be able to put these on a dimmer. However, they are not very bright to begin with, so not sure you'll need to dim them.

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

I use them in ceiling fan lights, desk lamps and floor lamps. They are not dimmable and cannot be used in lamps with 3 levels of brightness switches.

I don't have my bulbs on a dimmer, so I don't know how they will work in that format with any brand.

Sorry,I installed the 10 dimmers I bought on incandescent exterior/interior light fixtures. They work well on these lamps.

I'd think so. I can't imagine why not. I think the only issue with the dimmer would be the bulbs. LEDs for example can be very finicky about the dimmers.

I do not know the answer to the question, regarding this particular bulb. However, usually all bulbs made by GE can be used with dimmers, except for the newer energy saving bulbs. You would have to go on the GE Web site to find out for certain.

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

i don't know. I put these bulbs into standard 110V fixtures wired with 24VAC low voltage landscape lighting. I didn't try using a dimmer.

I don't know because it was never my intention to dim them. However all incandescent bulbs will work on a dimmer switch but at 7 watts I don't know how much control you would have. BTW this is a very nice product.

Yes, you can use dimmable bulbs as long as your dimmer is compatible. Yes, I have installed them next to insulation without any problem.

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

I found they won't work with this dimmer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000JJYJMM

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.

Yes, just install a dimmer in the switch box (electrician or experienced handy person). You will need to use regular light bulbs (non flourescent) for any light on a dimmer. I hope this helps.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.
